A political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk is being investigated by the Michigan secretary of state's office amid efforts to collect voter data.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has said he created and helped fund the America PAC, which is supporting former President Donald Trump.
After clicking on the "register to vote" tab on America PAC's website, users in states like Michigan can submit a ZIP code, address and phone number.
Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, is Michigan's secretary of state and the lead election official in the state.
The Republican National Committee has sued Benson and other Michigan Democrats at least twice this year, according to legal records.
